# Finite element modeling of structural design optimization of various vertical axis wind turbine models. ## Journal Title. Rahman, M, Smith, A, Freeman, A, Denham, J, Christopher, L, Huggins, W, Johnson, Z & Ragland, J 2014, 'Finite element modeling of structural design optimization of various vertical axis wind turbine models', Paper presented to the 10th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Florida, 14-16 July 2014. Paper presented to the 10th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Florida, 14-16 July 2014. The purpose of this study is to perform a finite element static stress analysis to develop structurally stable and relatively efficient vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) model design. The ANSYS FLUENT, a finite element based computational fluid dynamics solver, is adopted to obtain the pressure distributions on the Savonius type models and the lift force for the Giromill model.

Wind turbine blade performance directly influences the efficiency and reliability of wind energy conversion systems. The study focuses on structural and aerodynamic performance, aiming to reduce blade weight while maintaining mechanical strength and minimizing deformation under operating loads. A parametric blade model was developed and analyzed using FEA to evaluate stress distribution, deformation, and natural frequency. The results demonstrate significant weight reduction potential with improved structural performance, offering valuable insights for sustainable wind turbine blade design.**. **Wind turbine blade, finite element analysis, structural optimization, aerodynamic performance, blade design, stress analysis**.

# A Finite Element Structural Analysis of Wind Turbine Blade. In this paper, HWAT blade design is studied from the aspect of aerodynamic view and the basic principles of the aerodynamic behaviors of HWATs are investigated. Aiming at the dynamic performance analysis of aluminum alloy blade, a three-dimension modeling method with ANSYS 14.5 is proposed to the actual layer structure and the blade shape parameters are obtained. The important aerodynamic parameters which decide the efficiency of the wind turbine blade are analyzed for the NACA 4420 airfoil which is used to model the blade from root to tip. The airfoil has high lift to drag force ratio at small angle of attack of 5 0 , even at low Reynolds number. The dynamic analysis is performed for the blade by using the Finite Element Method (FEM). 1. The study employs Finite Element Method (FEM) for dynamic performance analysis of wind turbine blades.
